Wonderful private tour with Eduardo - We did a 3-hour private tour of the Sete Cidades area with Eduardo Pereira, our driver. Eduardo was so knowledgeable about the island and the areas we drove through. While we had a foggy day, Eduardo still found routes to drive along that were beautiful. We had a wonderful time. Eduardo even provided excellent restaurant advice, and made a reservation for us for that evening. I would highly recommend this experience.

Loved this Tour and Learned Much - We did this half day Jeep tour with another couple with Ricardo as our guide to start off our Sao Miguel visit and had a great experience. He provided us with a good understanding of the culture, history, economy, etc... with a great, personalized commentary. He was really friendly and nice and took such great photos of us. The lakes our breathtaking and the village was pretty great as well. Definitely worth it!

Highly recommended - Would recommend this tour to anyone and everyone! We were visiting São Miguel with family and Daniel C. was an absolutely phenomenal tour guide. The weather was not in our favor that day, so the views were not as great as they could have been, but this tour was still the highlight of our week. Daniel is incredibly knowledgeable and taught us so much about the Azores. Don't hesitate to book a tour, but make sure you ask for Daniel.

Great tour with Eduardo! - We were picked up at our rental and were given a quick description of the island before departure. Eduardo gave an expert running commentary and a personalized list of recommendations on the short drive to Sete Cidades. The tour in Sete Cidades was just what our group of five was looking for, with a good adventure, much of which a rental car could never do. Eduardo had us get out and explore at a few key spots, and we had a small break in little town of Lagoa Azul. A great overall tour with a great guide!

Amazing Tour! - This was a fantastic tour! Our guide was kind and knowledgeable of the area. The tour was for 6 people, which was the perfect size. We had plenty of stops to see the spectacular views and learned a lot from our guide Daniel about the local Azorian culture and traditions! 10/10 would definitely recommend this tour for any age!

Amazing views of sete cidades. - Pedro was an amazing guide and was super thoughtful and knowledgeable. He genuinely wanted us to get the most out of our experience and we worked around the weather and different areas to get some amazing views. He is super passionate about his island and it shows in the information he shares. The whole team was amazing and coordinated as there was a big group of us and so accommodating. These land rovers were so fun to get around in. Highly recommend this group for tours when visiting !
